Cory and Lea began dating in 2011, after they had gotten to know each other on the set of Glee. They were still together at the time of his his death last year.
The show will air its sixth and last season beginning in 2015, with a total of just 13 episodes. “It really [will be] a lovely, fitting season that…dwells on the original people that were on the show and what happens to them and how they give back. That really is the last season,” explained creator Ryan Murphy. “We’ll revisit some of the new kids that came and went.”
